Paris Day 2

Paris Day 2
We took the overnight train from Berlin, stopping at Mannheim at about 04:30 for a two hour stopover before boarding the ICE for Paris.  We spend the day in Paris touring on the Big Bus and river boat before boarding the Eurostar for London.  We barely made our train because we overestimated the time on the boat.  Fortunately we didn't get turned around like we usually do on the Paris Metro.

After following the bus tour all the way through, we stopped to have lunch on the river.

Then we boarded the tour boat for the included river tour.  We didn't realize how long it would take, so it put us uncomfortably close to our departure time.  We somehow made it...
